Ode to your travelling feet

This is dedicated to all of you who have struggled to find your path and never gave up.

Oh!
To be a shoe
upon your feet
And to feel where you have been
And where you grew.

To feel the hesitation
And sensation
Of courage
As you chose your paths

To travel
And witness
The lives you chose

To see the fear of unsureness set
Take hold with a wayward step
And to fix your course
When you with timid trepidation
Chose your way

How many wonders we will have seen
How much sorrow and struggle
We would find
The origins of the wounds that kept
And those that healed in time
Kept by the heart

To meet those
That you have seen and showed
What an amazement you are
To see the compassion and confusion and how far
Your manner adapted
the sense
To create, to cope
And to survive

Oh to be that shoe
And stop the roulette
Of guessing
To see what you have seen
And to feel
What you have felt
All along.
